Alexander Global Logistics Opens New Country Office in United Arab Emirates

Sept. 9, 2023 - Alexander Global Logistics (AGL) in August opened a new country office in Dubai South, United Arab Emirates.

The establishment of the new country office coincides with a 10-year Strategic Partnership Agreement signed by AGL and AD Ports Group in May of 2022. According to the agreement, the two parties would collaborate to form and launch a transshipment hub in Abu Dhabi dedicated to handling pulp and paper products.

At the time of the signing of the agreement, Carsten Hellmers, CEO of AGL, said, “We are very excited about this project, as we have the strongest belief that the combination of expertise and knowledge of the industry brought into this Strategic Partnership Agreement by Alexander Global Logistics plus the unique location, abilities and resources provided by AD Ports Group will soon allow the pulp and paper industry to have a world-class terminal to serve customers in the Abu Dhabi hinterland and reach other destinations taking full advantage of the hub.”

Saif Al Mazrouei, CEO of Ports Cluster, AD Ports Group, added, “[The agreement] marks a key milestone in Khalifa Port’s ongoing development to support the UAE’s industrialisation efforts, and is also the first step in what we see as Abu Dhabi’s transformation into a regional leader for pulp and paper products.”

In November of 2022, AGL inaugurated a 30,000 square meter warehouse located less than 250 meters away from the new Port Khalifa South Quay.

AGL noted that Khalifa Port is a vital link connecting East and West trade, especially to fast growing markets such as India, Pakistan, and Turkey.
